‎This just in from the newswires: The Anti-Trust Division of the US Department of Justice has announced that whenever Sale take The Bump, it is unfair competition in violation of various federal and state laws. However, he is not being prosecuted because it is so ****in awesome to watch him do his craft.

Baseball is growing in Australia, they have had a pro league there since the 1990s and have produced a couple of major leaguers. I think this is a good move, I wish it were with more iconic teams. The Dodgers are certainly iconic but the Diamondbacks? Not as much.

Right. Why not Dodgers-Giants because of the rivalry and the Giants' recent postseason success?

Because those games will easily sell out in the states and earn each club a ton of cash. Why give up two of your biggest gates of the year?

Well, at worst you're asking each team to give up one home game, assuming that the teams split the two games in Australia home and away. I don't know that it makes that much of difference (seventeen games against each other instead of nineteen) over the course of a full season. Plus, it's great exposure for MLB.

Because you're trying to grow the game and if you have two good teams that represents the best product that MLB has to offer you are likely to sell out in Australia too and can split the gate that way.
